Honored and fired up to announce that Our Revolution Massachusetts has endorsed our campaign. Our Revolution is the grassroots movement that grew out of the Bernie Sanders campaign. Neighbors organizing to win Medicare for All and get big money out of politics.
My arms are apparently too short and I’m selfie challenged, so here’s a shot of a doubled up sign so people during rush hour could read from both ways. I was a lone wolf today but there are now a bunch-o-commuters who know Jason is running if they didn’t already. In front of the Millis post office.
We have sooooo much to do to improve everyday lives that has to do with privacy. Unwanted solicitations, entities selling our names, the amount of wasted paper (trees!) in unwanted mail. Texts. Phone calls. Being put on mailing lists if you have any contact with a business. It’s all too much!!!
There are no words for something like this. I looked to see if there were any efforts to bring the children home. There are. This is a letter describing a program & inviting Vietnam to join. The U.S. should be doing this. The old U.S. would. But not under Trump. www.eeas.europa.eu/ua-oped-may2...

Great article. If you are in MA-4, please read.
Jason Poulos@poulos.house · 3mo ago"Auchincloss drew the majority of his contributions from donors giving $2K or more. About $139K came from PAC-earmarked donations, accounting for more than 30 percent of his quarterly total. Donations from pharmaceutical and medical companies also represented a sizable share, exceeding 10 percent."
Okay. Why can’t we have politics like this in the U.S. disagreements using humor, not rancor. youtube.com/shorts/9i4fP...

Hey @sierraclub.org Trump recently ordered the most devastating dismantling of the US Forest Service in 121 years. All 10 regional offices gone. 57 research stations closed. 193 million acres handed to political appointees. I’m a member and want you to speak up! #SaveOurForests #SAVEUSFS
Just hanging tonight watching Nate Bargatze specials. Love comedians that just make good clean fun of real life.
Tiffany is running for Congress. Her #MaineRaising way of campaigning is the best, raising money for the people of Maine. I just made a donation to Ms. Nass fir her classroom. Will you?
Tiffany Bond@tiffanybond.com · 4mo agoNeed a place to start #MaineRaising? How about Ms. Naas? She only needs $118! 💰 Donate ✏️ Leave a note about the campaign 📢 Share on social media www.donorschoose.org/project/wate...
I hate the money in politics. Each candidate should get the same amount. But, until that happens, I’ll pitch in. 3 candidates I want to see in Congress and have sent my first donation: @jamestalarico.bsky.social @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social @poulos.house
I’m voting for this guy! Join me if you live in the MA-4 district. We need policy to meet the times we are in. And representatives of the people, not the donor class.
Jason Poulos@poulos.house · 4mo ago"Poulos continues to underscore that his campaign is not about incremental change, but an acute sense of political urgency. 'This race is about the future of the Democratic Party and whether it serves the donor class or the working class,' he said."
Here’s a thought: if you’re going to start a war (any and all decision-makers) and send in troops, you need to be there with them in the fight. You can’t call the shots from your cushy, distant location. #WarIsNotTheAnswer
Our government is devoid of humanity. It’s all a game to them. Why aren’t there even enough people in power to stop this?
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 4mo agoImages show what experts say are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran. Human rights groups have long called to ban land mines because of their propensity to harm or kill civilians, often years after conflicts have ended. https://wapo.st/4tf80OJ
I have written postcards to voters through @tovoters.bsky.social. What I like about them: The messages are positive. And no names of voters are revealed. Just addresses. You put a generic term like “Valued Voter” as the addressee. (Other orgs share full names and addresses and that feels wrong.)

My Alexa Show isn’t connecting to my internet. I tried restarting. I tried it suggesting I bring my phone nearby (for whatever reason). Didn’t work. Good riddance, Alexa, don’t forget to close the door on the way out.
My former representative. Proud of him. Thank you @repmcgovern.bsky.social for saying what needs to be said.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 5mo agoMcGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
I want to thank @repmcgovern.bsky.social for not supporting sending unconditional money to Israel, nor taking AIPAC money. I moved out of his district and am really disappointed in my new @repauchincloss.bsky.social's stance on these issues (and how much AIPAC money he has accepted. (#1 in MA)
